I am grateful to you for making the long journey here, grateful to your governments for their ready acceptance of my in- vitation to this meeting. It is fitting that even while the war for liberation is at its peak, the representatives of free men should gather to take counsel with one another respecting the shape of the future which we are to win. The war has prodded us into the healthy habit of coming together in conference when we have common problems to discuss and solve. We have done this successfully with respect to various military and production phases of the war, and also with respect to measures which must be taken immediately after the war is won—such as relief and rehabilitation, and distribution of the world's food supplies. These have been essentially emergency matters. At Bretton Woods, you who come from many lands are meeting for the first time to talk over proposals for an enduring program of future economic cooperation and peaceful progress. The program you are to discuss constitutes, of course, only one phase of the arrangements which must be made between nations to insure an orderly, harmonious world. But it is a vital phase, affect- ing ordinary men and women everywhere. For it concerns the basis upon which they will be able to exchange with one another the natural riches of the earth and the products of their own industry and in- genuity. Commerce is the life blood of a free society. We must see to it that the arteries which carry that blood stream are not clogged again, as they have been in the past, by artificial barriers created through senseless economic rivalries. Economic diseases are highly communicable. It follows, therefore, that the economic health of every country is a proper matter of con- cern to all its neighbors, near and distant. Only through a dynamic 1 Read by the Secretary General of the Conference at the Inaugural Plenary Session July 1. 1 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 2 MONETARY AND FINANCIAL CONFERENCE and a soundly expanding world economy can the living standards of individual nations be advanced to levels which will permit a full realization of our hopes for the future. The spirit in which you carry on these discussions will set a pattern for future friendly consultations among nations in their common interest. Further evidence will be furnished at Bretton Woods that men of different nationalities have learned how to adjust possible differences and how to work together as friends. The things that we need to do, must be done—can only be done—in concert. This Conference will test our capacity to cooperate in peace as we have in war. I know that you will all approach your task with a high sense of responsibility to those who have sacrificed so much in their hopes for a better world. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis ADDRESS BY THE HONORABLE HENRY MORGENTHAU, JR. AT THE INAUGURAL PLENARY SESSION JULY 1, 1944 FELLOW DELEGATES AND MEMBERS OP THE CONFERENCE: You have given me an honor and an opportunity. I accept the presidency of this Conference with gratitude for the confidence you have reposed in me. I accept it also with deep humility. For I know that what we do here will shape to a significant degree the nature of the world in which we are to live—and the nature of the world in which men and women younger than ourselves must round out their lives and seek the fulfilment of their hopes. All of you, I know, share this sense of responsibility. We are more likely to be successful in the work before us if we see it in perspective. Our agenda is concerned specifically with the mone- tary and investment field. It should be viewed, however, as part of a broader program of agreed action among nations to bring about the expansion of production, employment, and trade contemplated in the Atlantic Charter and in article VII of the mutual-aid agreements con- cluded by the United States with many of the United Nations. Whatever we accomplish here must be supplemented and buttressed by other action having this end in view. President Roosevelt has made it clear that we are not asked to make definitive agreements binding on any nation, but that proposals here formulated are to be referred to our respective governments for acceptance or rejection. Our task, then, is to confer, and to reach understanding and agreement, upon certain basic measures which must be recommended to our governments for the establishment of a sound and stable economic relationship among us. We can accomplish this task only if we approach it not as bargainers but as partners—not as rivals but as men who recognize that their com- mon welfare depends, in peace as in war, upon mutual trust and joint endeavor. It is not an easy task that is before us; but I believe, if we devote ourselves to it in this spirit, earnestly and sincerely, that what we achieve here will have the greatest historical significance. Men and women everywhere will look to this meeting for a sign that the unity welded among us by war will endure in peace. 3 Digitized for FRASER http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/ Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 4 MONETARY AND FINANCIAL CONFERENCE Through cooperation we are now overcoming the most fearful and formidable threat ever to be raised against our security and freedom. In time, with God's grace, the scourge of war will be lifted from us. But we shall delude ourselves if we regard victory as synonymous with freedom and security. Victory in this war will give us simply the opportunity to mold, through our common effort, a world that is, in truth, secure and free. We are to concern ourselves here with essential steps in the creation of a dynamic world economy in which the people of every nation will be able to realize their potentialities in peace; will be able, through their industry, then* inventiveness, their thrift, to raise their own standards of living and enjoy, increasingly, the fruits of material progress on an earth infinitely blessed with natural riches. This is the indispensable cornerstone of freedom and security. All else must be built upon this. For freedom of opportunity is the foundation for all other freedoms.

  • G7 High-Level Conference – Paris, 16 July 2019
    G7 high-level conference – Paris, 16 July 2019 Bretton Woods: 75 years later – Thinking about the next 75 Welcome address by François Villeroy de Galhau, Governor of the Banque de France Press contact: Mark Deen ([email protected]; +33 6 88 56 54 03). Page 1 sur 6 Ladies and Gentlemen, It is a great pleasure to welcome you to this G7 high-level conference dedicated to the next 75 years of the Bretton Woods system… which is a sign of confidence. 75 years ago, John M. Keynes for Britain, Harry Dexter White for the US, Pierre Mendès-France for France inaugurated what we now see as the “golden age” of multilateralism and cooperation. Quite remarkably, the Bretton Woods Conference preceded peace: economic cooperation was seen as a prerequisite for peace. Today, we are unfortunately far away from this spirit: multilateralism is facing a major crisis. Yet the Bretton Woods institutions (BWI) are remarkably resilient, thanks to the commitment of their successive leaders – many of them are here – and to the strength of their history. They are priceless assets – we are probably all convinced of this. But we also know that the current situation is not stable. So, where do we go from here? The worst-case scenario would be an implosion of the system, implying a real step backward, with a rise of protectionism and bilateralism. A more promising scenario – and this is what we should fight for – would be to come out of this crisis stronger by re-building common solutions. For that, we can boast two major achievements, while acknowledging that each of them poses two challenges that we will discuss today: - Thanks to international cooperation including the IMF, we successfully responded to the Great Financial Crisis (GFC).

  • The Political Economy of the Bretton Woods Agreements Jeffry Frieden
    The political economy of the Bretton Woods Agreements Jeffry Frieden Harvard University December 2017 1 The Allied representatives who met at Bretton Woods in July 1944 undertook an unprecedented endeavor: to plan the international economic order. To be sure, an international economy has existed as long as there have been nations, and there had been recognizable international economic orders in the recent past – such as the classical era of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. However, these had emerged organically from the interaction of technological, economic, and political developments. By the same token, there had long been international conferences and agreements on economic issues. Nonetheless, there had never been an attempt to design the very structure of the international economy; indeed, it is unlikely that anybody had ever dreamed of trying such a thing. The stakes at Bretton Woods could not have been higher. This essay analyzes the sources of the Bretton Woods Agreements and the system they created. The system grew out of the international economic experiences of the previous century, as understood through the lens of both history and theory. It was profoundly influenced by the domestic politics of the countries that created the system, in particular by the United States and the United Kingdom. It was molded by the conflicts, compromises, and agreements among the signatories to the agreement, as they bargained their way up to and through the Bretton Woods Conference. The results of those complex domestic and international interactions have shaped the world economy for the past 75 years. 2 The historical setting The negotiators at Bretton Woods could look back on recent history to help guide their efforts.

  • From Bretton Woods to the Information Age
    CHAPTER 17 From Bretton Woods to the Information Age The general evolution of the international monetary system since the Bretton Woods conference has been a movement away from rules and toward cooperation. Increased information has played the role previously occupied by a legal or quasi-legal framework. This development constitutes the funda- mental challenge, and opportunity, faced by international financial institu- tions. The satisfaction of this demand for the reliable provision of information and analysis will become their principal raison d'etre. The Historical Argument The construction of the postwar international monetary system came as a result of a general agreement that a repetition of the economic and political nationalism of the 1930s could and should be avoided. The interwar experi- ence had provided a vivid and terrifying demonstration of how the collapse of the economic order could bring political and social fragmentation. In the new order, a commitment to keep stable but adjustable exchange rates would eliminate the temptation to engage in competitive devaluation. Controls on capital movements would eliminate the big speculative flows that had de- stroyed the exchange rate regime of the interwar period. The essential insight of the new vision was that harmonious interstate relations involved a willing- ness to agree on the surrender of some aspects of national sovereignty. The agreements produced at Bretton Woods combined a vision of a liberal world economy with a rule. The rule's primary purpose was to constrain 586 "I seem to be without any small change. Would you accept a 'Special Drawing Rights' voucher?" 588 INTERNATIONAL MONETARY COOPERATION national economic policies in cases where otherwise the interaction of differ- ent national strategies might cause disaster for the world as a whole (in currency policy, competitive devaluations; in trade policy, the application of protectionism).

  • Angling for Influence: Institutional Proliferation in Development Banking
    Angling for Influence: Institutional Proliferation in Development Banking Tyler Pratt∗ Yale University December 6, 2019 ∗Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science, Yale University. Email: [email protected]. I am grateful to Eric Arias, Sarah Bush, Christina Davis, Julia Gray, Kosuke Imai, Robert Keohane, Amanda Ken- nard, James Lee, Melissa Lee, Christoph Mikulaschek, Julia Morse, and Kelsey Pratt for valuable feedback on this project. Abstract Why do states build new international organizations (IOs) in issue areas where many institutions already exist? Prevailing theories of institutional creation emphasize their ability to resolve market failures, but adding new IOs can increase state uncertainty and rule inconsistency. I argue that institutional proliferation can be explained by the failure of existing IOs to adapt to shifts in the distribution of state power. States expect decision-making rules within IOs to reflect their material power; when it does not, they construct new organizations that provide them with greater institutional control. To test this argument, I examine the proliferation of multilateral development banks since 1944. I leverage a natural experiment rooted in the allocation of World Bank votes at Bretton Woods to show that the probability of institutional proliferation is higher when power is misaligned in existing institutions. My results suggest that conflict over shifts in global power contribute to the fragmentation of global governance. 1 Introduction Since the end of the World War II, states have constructed international institutions at a breakneck pace. The number of formal international organizations (IOs) grew from less than a hundred in 1950 to over 300 by the year 2000.

  • Inventaire Des Papiers Camille Gutt
    $$ ,QYHQWDLUHGHV3DSLHUV&DPLOOH*XWW 1. Eléments biographiques : Camille Gutt (1884-1971) Camille Gutt (1884-1971) est né à Bruxelles le 14 novembre 1884. Son père Max Guttenstein est originaire de Neuzedlich tandis que sa mère, Marie-Paule Schweitzer est originaire de Bichwiller en Alsace. Installée à Bruxelles depuis 1877, la famille Guttenstein compte deux enfants, Hélène Gutt et Camille Gutt. En 1886, Max Guttenstein bénéficiera de la nationalité belge par le biais de la procédure de la grande naturalisation. Diplômé en Sciences politiques et Docteur en Droit de l’Université de Bruxelles, Camille Gutt débute dans la vie professionnelle comme avocat et journaliste. Engagé dans le Corps français des Saphis, il refuse, en 1915, de suivre son régiment dans les Dardanelles pour rejoindre Le Havre. Là, il rencontre un grand nombre de personnalités belges, comme Gaston Blaise ou encore Fernand Neuray. En 1916, il est envoyé à Londres pour rejoindre l’équipe chargée des achats en Grande-Bretagne dirigée par Georges Theunis (1873-1966). Séduit par l’intelligence du jeune lieutenant, ce dernier décide d’en faire son plus proche collaborateur. Une longue histoire de collaboration et d’amitié va alors naître entre les deux hommes. Camille Gutt est ensuite désigné comme Secrétaire général de la Commission du Ravitaillement à Londres. En 1919, il sera rappelé par Georges Theunis au poste de Secrétaire Général de la délégation belge à la Commission des Réparations créée dans la foulée du Traité de Versailles. Lorsque Georges Theunis est nommé ministre des Finances, en 1921, pour ensuite diriger le Cabinet jusqu’en 1924, Camille Gutt le suit comme chef de Cabinet même si l’essentiel des ses activités concerne la poursuite des négociations des réparations allemandes.

  • History of the International Economy: the Bretton Woods System and Its Impact on the Economic Development of Developing Countries
    Athens Journal of Law - Volume 4, Issue 2 – Pages 105-126 History of the International Economy: The Bretton Woods System and its Impact on the Economic Development of Developing Countries By Isaac O.C. Igwe The Bretton Woods conference held in July 1944 resulted in the creation of the World Bank (WB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and International Trade Organisation (ITO). It was primarily formed, in the words of John Maynard Keynes, to seek “a common measure, a common standard, a common rule applicable to each and not irksome to any.” This article will examine this assertion in the light of Bretton Woods’s system as a shift from the implied conventional-based economic cooperation of global states, to a rule-based multilateral economic cooperation of global communities. Keywords: International Economy; Bretton woods; World Bank; IMF; ITO; Economic Development; Multilateral; Economic cooperation; Global Community; Developing Countries. Introduction The Bretton Woods conference of July 1944 set up the World Bank, International Trade Organisation (ITO), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and post-war monetary arrangements by which the US dollar took the place of gold as the medium of international exchange. It may be seen that the primary function of the United States after World War II was establishing and maintaining the rules and instructions of a „liberal‟ world economy.1 The pre-1914 gold system worked but emphasised the elements of the crisis that was brewing within the system during the 25 years before the outbreak of World War I via an increasing damaging collapse to its destruction in 1914.
